The women’s safety body of the University of Delhi – Pehel – has proposed a centralized office in order to cater to the housing needs of female outstation students. If the said proposal is accepted by the University, the centralized office will help girls get safe accommodation in and around the two campuses of the university. In addition, private individuals providing paying guest accommodation to girls will have to get themselves registered with the office before renting out their property.
As per the plan, the centralized office will keep a record of accommodations near various colleges scattered all over the city. Unlike the present scenario of girls and their parents moving around Delhi to locate safe and affordable houses, the office will be a one stop answer to all their worries. The proposal is in line with western countries where similar systems are at work in helping students get good accommodation if they don’t manage to make it to the college hostels.
In the wake of incidents of outstation students getting harassed by their landlords, this is indeed a welcome move. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
